URGENT....
Home offer or permanent foster home needed for Greyhound girl approaching 12yrs of age. After 6 years in the home, she is no longer wanted - because they now have a young child! We cannot put her in the kennels so need a kind, loving home urgently.
Please get intouch if you can help.
Many thanks Jodie

What absolute sh**s, and that's being polite ,I don't want to get barred from the site!!! Don't these people realise that a dog is for life ,not until you decide you don't want it anymore like a discarded toy!! I hope they never get another pet,this has still got to come under cruelty. That poor girl just when she needs lots of TLC and the warmth and security of a loving home,she has done nothing wrong. I hope she finds a home soon. After all Paul & I have been through in the last 3 months , a story like this really gets to me !!

memories flood back of ruben who was also slung out like an unwanted toy when the owners tired of him. How people can do this is beyond me, but sadly it happens all too often. Bl***y people. both lorraine and I hope she finds a forever sofa soon as at 12 she may not have too long left so really needs that bit of comfort and peace Bless her and dam the people who do these things (cleaned up version). x

How on earth can people do this? I know having a child is a massive thing and changes all aspects of your life but making the poor dog suffer is massively out of order.

just like my marley who was returned to kennels age10 last year ( its not as if they cost a lot to feed, or are hyperactive is it? I believe its because they dont want the vets bills which often dome with an older dog. Poor babs, it must really affect you seeing things like this, I hope she finds a lovely sofa soon. Dont know how you keep your cool Jodie !

. Poor baby Not sure a gentile old lady would want to share a home with bouncy boisterous Moss. I really hope she finds a foster home/loving family soon. I get so annoyed when people disguard thier pets when a child comes along. Personally I'd rather chuck the child out, they are much more hassle and expense than a dog. I couldn't give up my dogs I love them far too much. It's cold and heartless to just disguard them when they are no longer 'convenient' or don't fit in with other life choices.

What I don't understand is WHY??? these gentle dogs are one of the most "safe" dogs to be around children even if it is an older dog. Our Max was almost 12 when he passed in October and he loved nothing more than when the grandchildren used to come and sit on his bed with him and stroke him. A dog was always my choice of pet when my children were young ,it's an on hands experience for them ,teaching them responsibility,respect for the animal etc. I suppose it could be down to money, but they should have thought of the bigger picture before taking the dog on 6 years ago . There is NO EXCUSE !

Well, best I don't get involved in this one as you all know I have VERY strong views when it comes to these wonderful animals. It is one thing to be cruelly looked After but then find love. But Sparky used to be well looked after had meat cooked for her everyday and Jodie used to be updated with pics etc. Accept now she is being terribly looked after which in my opinion is worse because she knows what life used to be like.! In my opinion I hope very bad things come to them owners... And it will I'm sure. If I was to see them would tell them exactly what I think ! I don't know how anybody can give up a dog once they have been in your home and return them. SCUM! Thankfully there is a lot of kind people in this world and Sparky will then have an another chance of finding love.

I am quite convinced that the best thing for child is to be brought up in a home where there are pets, particularly dogs. Children learn to care and to be compassionate and responsible for a dog. They learn about life, love and ultimately how to cope when a precious pet dies. My children and grandchildren have had pets around them all their lives. How people can consider giving up a dog they have had for so long is quite unbelievable, I can only presume they are totally ignorant and hope they never consider having another dog. There should be some way of making sure they never can.

This is how I got my elderly girlie. She had been in a home with a family and another little dog for about four years, and was suddenly no longer wanted. We just went to the kennel and brought her home, and she's the most loving girl you could wish to meet, and so full of life at eleven yrs old. She was nearly nine then. I don't know how people can part with them, let alone push them out. It's beyond me.

Sorry for the delay with update on this girl, but i've been run off my feet...... I went & collected 'Sparky' from the home last Thursday, and sadly found her to be in a terrible state - 8 kilos under-weight, nails so long she was tripping over them & her mouth so badly neglected she will lose most if not all of her teeth. She was also not even allowed to mix with the family - she was kept in the kitchen. Absolutely broke my heart to see her like this, I cried all the way home from Hertfordshire . I last saw her 2 years after she was rehomed (4 years ago) & all was fine. How can people change so much just because a baby comes along. Because of Sparky's condition I had to bring her straight into my home. She was SO hungry all she thought about was searching for food the moment she walked through the door. I reported it to the rspca & I'm waiting to hear the outcome as they were paying the 'owners' a visit. If anyone can & would like to make a donation towards getting Sparky better (she is on a special, very expensive food at the moment & she will need a dental once she is well enough) then we would really appreciate it. Thank you Jodie x
